With 4 golds and 2 silvers from last year's Beijing Olympics under her belt and half a year of commercial deals away from the pool, Guo Jingjing had recently became a mystery figure as nobody knew what her next step would be.

But amidst speculation, which have been flying around since last summer, about the diving queen leaving her career.Guo Jingjing got back on the spring board in recent days, ready to take off, once again.

Perhaps little surprise, given the way she has talked about her love for the sport in the past.

There is no mistaking her return now, but Guo Jingjing has changed in one aspect. she had been known to shy away from the media. In the recent national championships where she paired up with old partner Wu Mingxia to win the women's doubles, the diving queen, as usual, showed no emotions what so ever.

This time around, however, things appeared different . Guo Jingjing was all smiles during her training, and was very willing to answer questions thrown at her.

And Guo Jingjing will be looking to bring out her best form in the coming World Swimming Championships. She appears ready to hold her place and continue her reign as the "diving queen."
